ACQUISITION, by                    
First Line: With life before us in the way
Last Line: And find the sought star six feet down.
Subject(s): Life


With life before us in the way,
We march against the sky to quest
The star so hungered for a clay,
Then weary back to earth for rest.

With life too quickly come to close,
And sky ungathered to our crown,
We dig a bed for last repose
And find the sought star six feet down.
